Thank you everyone for participation in last week's meeting. This was a very useful exploratory call. While we did not make any formal decisionsÂ on the call, there did seem to be rough consensus that there is value in the group developing privacyÂ considerations for W3C standards. There were also suggestions such as: working towards being able toÂ conduct privacy reviews of early drafts of specifications from other W3C groups; developing best practiceÂ guidelines; and commenting on legal/policy developments.
Full minutes are available:Â

Our next call will be on 17 May 2012 at 9am PT, 12pm ET, 16:00 UTC, 6pm CET.
